How to play Mahjong Solitaire
Take a moment with Mahjong Solitaire before moving to another game. Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Match number-marked tiles in a compact layered layout. The starting arrangement has a complete removal route, but your choices can still block later pairs.
Try a deliberate move
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.
Your goal
Remove all forty layered tiles in matching pairs. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Start with a deliberate move.
Step by step
- Choose a tile with no covering tile and a free left or right side.
- Choose a matching free tile.
- Uncover lower layers.
- Use hints or undo.
Controls
Tap two free matching tiles. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A useful example
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Watch out for this
Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
